balance and the good luck to be heading onward and upward from the discoveries of Moshe Feldenkrais



What if "balance" were to be seen
as what it is,
somewhat of a non-existent
approximation of
not falling over.

Then, would not Judo,
or physics,
or the study of infants learning to sit up,
or even raise their heads,
perhaps be useful to this
action of
not falling over.

Hmm.
We seem to have lucked into a "system"
developed be a man
who excelled in Judo,
was a physicist/ engineer,
and had a profound interest in how
babies move bodies into new
phases of learning.

What a pleasant state of affairs.

And then there is "learning,"
as in gifting another person
with a one sided lesson,
so they are "out of balance"
and get to rise to higher level
of organization.

In their somewhere,
the brain,
what Moshe called the most precious
material in the universe.

Good.
Good.
Good.

Superb Movie: The Visitor

Marlie and I just
rode our bikes on down to the Sebastiani Theater
to see the
Visitor
(Click here for a nice review)

a wonderful movie

great acting

fun and then gripping
and heartwarming
and jarring

a movie
of real humanity
depth
wisdom
compassion

Marlie had already seen it once
and was excited for me
to see
it and to
see it again

she loved it a second time

i plan to go again

well worth seeing

please support Roger at the local theater
if you live in
Sonoma

and no matter where you live
see it and support
independent film making

in case you
missed my pitch:

treat yourself to a
visit
to
the visitor

ciao
chris
